Social Media & OSINT Monitoring
Human-AI Hybrid monitoring for active litigation.
Continuous monitoring of social media, news coverage, court filings, forums, comment sections, and other open sources around your case - what the intelligence community calls OSINT. A retained expert service that watches 24 hours a day and delivers validated, forensically preserved findings to your legal team.
What This Is
Not a tool. A retained expert service.
Every active case generates a digital footprint that evolves in real time. News narratives shift overnight. Social posts surface and vanish. Statements appear in article comment sections and forum threads that never make it into mainstream coverage, and disappear just as fast. By the time someone runs a manual search, the landscape has already changed.
We built this capability because our clients needed it and nobody else was doing it right. This is not a software subscription. It is not a keyword alert service. It is a retained expert OSINT intelligence service with AI force multiplication and a complete chain of custody from collection to testimony.
The Expert Gatekeeper Model
Five steps. A human expert at every decision point.
Courts are sanctioning attorneys for unsupervised AI use while clients increasingly expect AI-driven efficiencies. Our model resolves that tension: the coverage and speed of automated collection with a human expert who can explain, defend, and testify to every step of the process.
- 1
Human Defines
A forensic analyst configures every subject, keyword set, source feed, and scoring parameter based on your case requirements. The operation is scoped to your matter before any sweep begins.
- 2
AI Collects
Our in-house OSINT engine runs continuous sweeps across news outlets, social media, Reddit, broadcast archives, court filings, institutional feeds, article comment sections, and forum threads. Findings are scored and prioritized automatically.
- 3
Human Validates
Every finding is triaged and reviewed by a forensic analyst who understands the case context, verifies source attribution, and determines relevance before anything moves forward. No raw AI output reaches the client.
- 4
Human Preserves
Significant content is forensically captured using authenticated tools with hash verification, metadata preservation, and chain-of-custody documentation suitable for evidentiary use in court.
- 5
Human Testifies
The same expert who directed the intelligence operation can testify to the methodology, the findings, and the complete chain from collection to conclusion.
“The AI surfaced it. The human understood it.”
Coverage
What our intelligence sweeps cover.
Our comment intelligence capability reads what others skip. Case-relevant statements often surface in article comment sections and embedded forum discussions well before they appear in mainstream coverage, and disappear just as fast. We catch them.
- National and local news outlets
- Social media platforms
- Reddit communities and threads
- Broadcast and podcast archives
- Court filings and legal databases
- Institutional and corporate feeds
- Public records and filings
- Article comment sections
- Forum threads and discussions
- Wikipedia edit tracking
Why This Matters For Your Practice
Running this manually would require 15-20 analyst hours per week.
And still miss overnight developments, weekend posts, and the kind of ephemeral content that disappears before Monday morning. Our service delivers superior coverage at a fraction of the cost.
Because a forensic expert directs every sweep, validates every finding, and preserves every piece of captured evidence under chain of custody, everything we produce is suitable for expert declaration, attorney review, and live testimony.
Pricing
An incredible value, averaging around $1,250 per month.
Tiers scale with the number of subjects monitored, the frequency of sweeps, and the analyst hours included. Expert consultation and testimony are billed separately at our standard rate.
